5,8 Okay
Pros:
Cons: The a/c didn’t appear to work as well as expected, it got very warm in the middle of the night. It sounded like whoever was directly above our room was pacing all night, that’s all we heard. When I checked out, the clerk didn’t even ask about the stay, she couldn’t care less.
7,1 Good
Pros: That everyone gets free breakfast in the morning and that they have to elevators for Serivce.
Cons: The serivce has to be a little bit better as of making sure the guess is satisfied to staying their and getting things on time.

8,3 Excellent
Pros: The breakfast was good and the beds were comfortable
Cons: It’s too far from the city. There is public transit but they had outages forcing us to take an Uber for more reliable transportation. We chose this place to save money but it costs us more money
5,8 Okay
Pros: Friendly and helpful staff.
Cons: Location is the biggest drawback of this property. There is only one restaurant (actually more like a cafe) within walking distance and as I was walking towards it I saw a rat walking in its front-yard running towards the cafe. There is only a bridge to get on the lakeside and you have to walk like 15 mins just to cross to the lakeside. The neighborhood did not seem to be safe to walk after dark either.
7,5 Good
Pros: good value, free parking, free shuttle, free breakfast, close to downtown
Cons: the only thing I would like to bring it to the managements attention is the smell of the room. It has a musky smell. If you get a room like that, make sure you close your suitcase so your clothes won’t get that smell.
